For those Blues that are no longer here

to our kid alan wood who passed away in the 80s.one of his last games was when we beat hudds 10-1.he would have loved this season
 
My husband, Steve, and my Mum, Margaret. The three of us used to go together home and away but Steve died in 2009 and Mum in 2010. I'll be wearing their scarves at the match today and know that they'll both be there with me.
 
For one of my dearest mates,Stevie Hallworth (Olly) who passed away Jan.2011,just after his 50th Birthday.
He missed us lifting the FA Cup,so if you`re looking down on us Olly,make it the "biggie" this year mate.
oakie. George & Dragon still doesn`t seem the same without you mate.
 
For my dad who died Feb 16 2012. He used to stand on the terraces from 1930 onwards. He missed us lifting the FA Cup. The last thing he said to me was that he loved me and to make sure that City go on to win many trophies. Come on you Blues... do this for all that cannot be here. Love you dad.

Absolutley welled up reading that. Come on City
 
I defy anyone to read this thread and not shed a tear.
My Grandad Noel Pennington,big blue and a boozing pal of Roy Paul.
He passed seventeen years ago would have loved this,he was only wrong once about the blues,when Allison came back he likened it to the second coming and I was left less than impressed and we had words.
He realised it was going tits up and apologised,saying he was wrong and I was right.I can't imagine many sixty year old's having the humility to do that to 16 year old know all.
My great aunty Eve Whitehead,lifelong blue who ran an offie on Eccles new road in Salford,she copped a volley in the face off Don Revie in the old scoreboard end and still said he was a belting player.
 
Will be thinking about my dad today.
18 months sinced he passed after a sudden heart attack.

Was not a footy fan.....always asking why I supported City, when they lost every week and remined me that these Football players are not going to put food on the dinner table etc, but I always knew that he would check the footy score on ceefax to see whether City had done the business that week.

Love u dad
 
Some may scoff, but at 92 mins I took out the picture of my dead younger brother and fucking prayed to God and to our Tony for some help...
Then we got a corner and you know the rest..

RIP all the blues gone but NEVER forgotten
Thank You!
 
Denis Parker,Denis Hughes,Damien Regan,Frank Tipper and Peter Shaw all Cheadle Branch members. RIP

And my MAM and DAD
 
My dad was a blue. He took me to Wembley to watch City win the league cup. He died in 1993. Being an only one and my mum not being bothered I kept his ashes. All this time I wondered what should I do with them, until yesterday. Within half an hour after the game, I took him to a nice spot by a local stream, buried the box his ashes were in wrapped in my City scarf. I told him the result and what it meant,and thanked him for showing me the right way in life. God bless him and all the other lost City fans and players.
 
One for a good friend of mine - Lee Evans. His Dad, revered gent. from Brooklands and Baguley Supporters Club branch, indeed - on the founder members' committee-along with Roy Lewis. Billy Evans. God rest your soul!! Respect from Rita, Lee, myself and many more. Billy's efforts shouldn't go un-noticed and have helped others enjoy the City family. Thanks from us all.
 
I hope this guy enjoyed it:

A year ago I wouldn't have made this thread. I always believed once you had died then that was it, nothing more to see nothing more to do. However in the last 12 months I've become more open minded. I can't even pin point why but for various reasons which I won't go into on here I now think a little differently and if there's one thing I do believe, its that on Sunday we had an energy and a force from thousands of Blue souls that decided enough was enough and it was now our time.
 
My dad who died 6 years ago. Wish you could have seen the last 2 years.
Thanks for being Blue. RIP Dad
 
I cried buckets in the south stand not just out of sheer elation but for my dad who sat me on the wall of the kippax as a 7 year old, Newcastle 68' and 70 in Vienna . He loved city made me what I am and I prayed he was watching. God bless dad ! Xxxx
